Our search for previous artistic renditions of the wedding of Christ to you, the saints, has revealed that this may be the first such creation of this amazing event.

Preface

This book is the record of a heavenly encounter. This is an experience in which I was shown the heavenly throne room and received fresh revelation from God. Readying the bride of Christ for the wedding of the Lamb fulfills the purpose of this throne room experience. For the time has come that Christians be prepared in faith, trust and love, for the coming of the Lord to His bride and that she should receive His name as her own. I say not that He comes to carry her away from the world, but that He comes to reside with the bride, bringing her His power and might.

The fresh and empowering revelation found within these pages is not the result of wisdom gained from any earthly knowledge, experience or teaching, but the message imparted in this book was received from God alone and simply established by the Holy scripture to be revealed to the saints at this appointed time.

But I make known to you, brothers in Christ, that the gospel preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was taught it by man, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:10-12

Introduction

My journey has never been traditional in the sense of the common Christian story. I think that in some ways God wanted to raise me out of the box of the traditional so I would be without pre-formed boundaries of what is possible or what is accepted or expected by commonly held religious beliefs.

My Grandmother played a very important part in my basic understanding of a good God and formed my earliest knowledge of Him. She taught me that God is love, not just something you say but what He truly is. This basic teaching proved invaluable as later in my teens I would attend the local church and hear the preacher teach something quite different. I remember how he would get so red faced sometimes I would imagine that his head might just pop off. He got so seemingly angry at the people and would scream his message out. All I know is what I received from it was that I was worthless and no good. We were just lucky if God was even aware of our existence except for the times when we sinned and then it was His wrath that we received.

I would struggle with this message and look at the message board on the wall behind him that recorded the attendance. I remember thinking it was funny that the same 42 people were in attendance week after week and yet they were all still worthless sinners. I would kid with myself and wonder if the salvation that they received last Sunday for being at church was just not potent enough to get them through the week or if I was in the presence of some really deviant people. They all looked so normal who would expect them to be so bad that they had to be saved every Sunday?

Well, that’s what it looked like to me as a young person and I longed for someone that actually knew God like my Grandmother. Then one day he was red faced and screaming at the same 42 people again and I heard him say that God was going about the land with his stick of wrath looking for whom He would punish. The preacher rose up his arm as if to club someone and said, Thank God we have Jesus to stand in the gap. He raised his arms as if to stand between God and man to keep the Father off of us. That was all I could stand and my innermost being said, Enough! If this is the God he knows then I want no part of it. This man and I don’t know the same God. I walked out not to enter a church for fifteen years. During this time I strayed away, always knowing the truth, but ignoring it. Always hearing Him, but ignoring Him and eventually found myself in what I would describe as hell on earth.

God would not let me go though. While I was in professional college I had become friends with a fellow chiropractic student who was Jewish. We studied and even went fishing together, but we had a constant disagreement about God. He was as Paul when he was Saul. This friend of mine would so actively go about to harass Christianity. He forced the college to quit playing Christian music in the halls. He would make lunchtime a time of complaints against Christians and express his reasoning against Jesus being the Son of God. He said Christians are OK unless they are the born again Evangelical type. Well that doesn’t leave much does it? Yes, he was a modern day Saul when he was persecuting Christianity. I respected his fervor because my friend was defending Jehovah (my father) and I was defending His Son (Jesus). But no one would stand up for Christianity, so I was compelled to. I started refuting him during lunch with the group of us that met regularly. In
